What an absolute pile of garbage. A player has only one value..... what someone will pay. Not a soul on this earth has the vaguest idea what that is except the buyer.
Not really CP. A player has a value for insurance purposes, transfer fees, marketing rights. What someone will pay is an important, but not sole part of his value
Gareth Bale now worth £49m-54m...**** me we got a great deal selling him for £85m plus a getting a £5 bonus (apparently) after RM won the CL! The article goes on to say that "Any footballer is only worth what a club will pay for him, of course, but the CIES study shows that their evaluation process stands up to scrutiny, with only a small historical variation between their valuations on players and the prices they actually move for. The margin of error is fairly insignificant 7.5 per cent" but fails to say what the **** happened with Bale who it also calls the "most expensive player on Earth" if the margin of error is marginal
